It is at least somewhat usable, the biggest hurdle so far may be the
software keyboard I'm using (Hacker's Keyboard). Among other issues like
key placement, it refuses to emit Alt+key for some keys, which
really comes as a bit inconvenient within Emacsen (it has Esc as a
separate key and that one seems (so far) to always work).

Also, the post width, but maybe I can apply tweaks other than
rotating...

(No Termux here, though.)
